Community AMI's are present for FreeBSD. Apparently at least a few are identified as windows systems, while others are identifed as (Linux Other). A quick search gives: http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-on-ec2/ which identifies several different AMI's. (Also searching for FreeBSD on community AMI's provides a list). I don't remember which one was used, but none the less, I never used it in any real environment (and hence trusted the image).
